Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Recollections of Paris, Vol. 1 of 2 I have traced the following pages in the form of "Recollections," having only kept a Diary during such eventful periods as the Siege of Paris and the Communist insurrection. During my stay in the French capital, I witnessed the closing scenes of the Second Empire and its fall, and the rise and development of the Third Republic, which, seeing the troubles which surrounded its infancy, I was convinced it would have but a brief existence. But the gods saw otherwise. It has certainly enjoyed a wonderful run of good luck. In the first place, it reaped the benefit of disasters for which it was in a great measure responsible. Had not the Liberal Chamber, elected under the auspices of M. Emile Olivier and his friends, refused men and money to the Empire, being confident that the National Guard was a sufficient protection for France, the probability is that the Germans would never have over-run the country, and that Napoleon III. would have been able to weather the storm which, in 1870, produced such dire consequences.
